### Summary The GitHub Action bundled with Black can read the version from `tool.black.required-version` if `use_pyproject` is set to True. This version is not validated and therefore can be used to execute untrusted code in the context of a victim's repository. ### Details This is similar to the previous CVE-2026-31900. The value in `tool.black.required-version` is accepted as the version to be installed by the action without validation. ### Proof of concept Reproduction requires a victim to use Black's GitHub Action with `use_pyproject: true`. The attacker would then issue a PR to the victim's repository with `pyproject.toml` edited so that Black points to a malicious repository. ### Impact This is a remote code execution vulnerability impacting users using the GitHub Action bundled with psf/black and using the `use_pyproject: true` setting.
